GT Capital Holdings Inc., the investment arm of the Ty family, is confident of weathering the current crisis spawned by the conflict in the Middle East.

“With a strong balance sheet and a diversified portfolio, we are confident in our ability not only to withstand near-term headwinds but also to recover decisively and deliver long-term value as conditions stabilize,” GT Capital President Carmelo Maria Luza Bautista said in a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) on Thursday, March 26.

The conglomerate posted a 17-percent growth in consolidated net income to ₱33.68 billion last year, while core net income improved year-on-year to ₱30.47 billion due to the strength of its banking and automotive businesses.

It attributed the earnings growth to the sustained and resilient performance of its core operating companies, Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co. (Metrobank) and Toyota Motor Philippines Corp. (TMP), with record 2025 net incomes of ₱49.7 billion and ₱19 billion, respectively.

GT Capital associate Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC) likewise reported a record performance with a consolidated core net income of ₱27.1 billion in the past year.

“The group’s performance in 2025 underscores the strength and resilience of our portfolio, as we navigated a complex and evolving political and economic landscape,” Bautista said.

Despite heightened global uncertainties, he noted that the firm’s core businesses remained fundamentally sound, with key segments demonstrating sustained demand and operational discipline.

“As we move forward, GT Capital will continue to take a measured and vigilant stance. At the same time, we recognize emerging opportunities across our sectors and are well-positioned to capture areas of growth amid volatility.

“The group remains firmly committed to prudent capital allocation, disciplined execution, and safeguarding the integrity of its operations,” he added.

Metrobank delivered a record net income in 2025, supported by modest asset expansion, resilient margins, healthy trading income, and contained cost growth.

“This full-year performance reflects the trust of our clients, the dedication of our people, and our commitment to disciplined growth," said Metrobank President Fabian S. Dee.

TMP also achieved a record net income on the back of a 5.2-percent growth in retail sales volume to a record 229,447 units sold by year-end, a performance driven primarily by Vios and Avanza sales.

As a result, TMP’s market share grew to 46.7 percent in 2025, maintaining its 24th consecutive Triple Crown—an industry-wide achievement and citation for securing the number-one spot in passenger car, commercial vehicle, and overall sales.

In 2025, rising demand for electrified vehicles contributed to TMP’s growth, accounting for 8.5 percent of the company’s total vehicle sales, significantly up from 0.33 percent in 2020.

“Our multi-pathway approach continues to prove effective in bringing diverse mobility solutions closer to Filipinos. As the nation faces evolving fuel cost challenges, TMP maintains its focus on providing its customers with a full range of models—from fuel-efficient new-generation internal combustion engine vehicles to full-electric vehicles (EVs)—that support varying needs and preferences,” TMP President Masando Hashimoto said.

Federal Land Inc. reported a net income of ₱522.3 million as contributions from joint ventures remained resilient. In 2025, Federal Land completed and handed over five towers across its projects in key cities including Manila, Marikina, Pasay, Pasig, and Taguig.

MPIC sustained its strong growth momentum in 2025, reporting a 15-percent increase in consolidated core net income to ₱27.1 billion, compared with ₱23.6 billion in 2024, due to improved financial and operational performance across its portfolio.

AXA Philippines Life and General Insurance Corp.’s consolidated net income increased to ₱2.5 billion in 2025, as it recorded a 20-percent year-on-year growth in the annual premium equivalent (APE) of its life business to ₱5.2 billion.
